How fair is this? I go to the beach for the week with the kids while Casey stays home and pulls all nighters getting ready for the UNC installation. It took him and a small crew 24 hours over 2 days to carry everything up to the 6th floor at lower it to the 5th floor (over the side of the building) and set each piece in place. They carried up 2500lbs of river rocks to use as anchor weights and several sheets of 1/4″ steel for base plates. Not to mention the actual sculptures! I feel a little guilty (and tan) but I did have two kids to manage which is a 24 hour job in itself. Still doesn’t equal out though, dang.
Well, here’s what phase 2 included (see the pics): 2 mushrooms, with caps that sway, topped off with giant butterflies. 3 cattails with 2 dragonflies on top, 1 large daffodil that spins with a butterfly on it’s leaf, 1 small spinning dafodil, and 1 waddling ladybug.
Phase 3 (the final frontier) is coming very soon. The hospital wants to dedicate the garden as soon as possible. Be looking for some ants, caterpillar, and more flowers- but the final pieces have not been set in stone, so this could change.
Let me know what you think!

-also, make plans to see us the first week in July for Festival for the Eno in Durham, NC.

Thanks for reading,
Em
